Texas Hill Country: Fredericksburg

Texas Heart. German Soul.

Put some Hill Country “zing” in your family’s spring with a Texas stay-cation to Fredericksburg. Join the colorful wildflowers as they make their annual appearance, adorning our highways and backroads. In fact, rent bikes and you can immerse yourselves in the surrounding beauty. Venture out to Enchanted Rock for a “kids vs. parents” hike—and 360° view! (Just arrive early or check “at capacity” alerts on Facebook before you head out.)

Stick near Main Street and your kids will savor the treats around every corner, like a gajillion popcorn flavors, mile high burgers, brick oven pizza, homemade ice cream and chocolate covered bacon! There’s enough shopping for everyone and for some added educational experiences, check out the Pioneer Museum, LBJ State and National Parks or grab tickets to the National Museum of the Pacific War’s Living History Reenactments. You’ll never forget it.
